Looking forward to Saturday now I'll quickly mention it again as nobody seemed to reply/notice - I'll be bringing my box of spare manuals and inserts (spanning various Sega/Nintendo consoles) which I'd like to find new homes by the end of the event. If anyone else has any spares they fancy bringing down too it would be great to get sharing

rupes - Would you be able to double-check with the venue that everything is still happening? Cheers mate Done, dropped them a quick mail to confirm everything is still okay. The pub actually opens at 10am on Saturday, i've advised we'll need the room from around 11:00 or 12:00 ish and the 'event' will start from about 13:00 and perhaps go on to 20:00 at the latest? I guess you can just carry on if you want to or go for a drink etc if your staying over. So if people are looking for a time to show up I would suggest around 13:00 or before if your bringing a system or two. I'll aim to get there about 11:30 ish. They have responded to advise all still okay. They are open from 10am if anyone arrives early and just wants to hang about (they have free retro cabs ). The only new news is that they have a Comedy night on at 20:30 so we need to have packed up by 19:30, still plenty of time I feel.

Last time I came (2008) I had to rush off about 7.30ish and the competition still hadn't finished. Hopefully we'll be up to speed this time, no Olympic Gold all-day marathon...

Go on then, I'll bring some spares along too as long as there's room in Cauterize's car! There isn't many SMS spares though I gave the majority of them away on here not so long back. There's a fair few MD, PS1 and DC games though and a few inserts/manuals, sure someone will get something they want Great idea! Let me know if you need help with editing after. I should be alright mate, I'm not too bad at editing now, been practising , I just very rarely bother to edit stuff ;D.

I'm home, and I'm absolutely buzzing, can't make my mind up if it's all the fun or all the Red Bull . Great day as always and can't wait until next year already! Big thanks to rupert for organizing the event and it was great seeing you all again . The video will be online in the morning, it's quite long and in HD so will take about 5 hours to upload... There's some very random footage in there! I managed to get phil taking George out on California Games on film though which was cool ;D.

I very much enjoyed the day. Was great meeting up with you all guys again and Bock and Cauterize who I'd not had the pleasure of meeting in real life before.
Next time I will practice some games before hand, so even if I come last again, at least I'll lose with more dignified scores!
